Citizen Complaint Inspections

Complaint inspections are done when a citizen is concerned about a potential fire hazard.
Complaints can be related to buildings or brush management/weed abatement.

Complaints Related to Buildings

Complaints related to buildings or building access should be referred to the Fire Hazard Advisor at (619) 533-4411. If a complaint involves conditions inside individual "dwelling units," it should be directed to Code Enforcement at (619) 236-5500, unless the complaint is related to fire protection (i.e. smoke detectors, malfunctioning alarm system, etc.).

A "dwelling unit" is a building or portion thereof which contains living facilities (i.e. provisions for sleeping, eating, cooking and sanitation). A dwelling unit could be a single family home, an apartment in an apartment building, a condominium in a larger residential building, etc.
